THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four wears I've been a
victim of very severe and agonizine
case of salt rheum, which affected nv
hands to such an extent that they almost
became burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying,
compelling me to keep it covered all the
| time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for var
ious preparations, but instead of benefits
ing my condition, they all seemed tn
stimulate and encourage the progress of
the miserable disease, until had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, 1.-THE darkest hour
is Just before day" and am re]oiced TO
know that a positive cure has been found,
which is known as B. B. B.-Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief. Nv
hand has been cured and resembles q
burnt surface after being healed over.
more than anything else, 1t has also
cured my two children of loathsome
form of itch which has resisted all pre-
vious treatment. ! refer to any business

presidents coachmen, is a large. fine looking
negro, as black as a piece of polished an
thracite coal, and in private life is rollicking
jolly, good fellow, full of stories and wit, and
he keeps the stables in a roar, 50 that il is
said the horses laugh sometimes. But when
he is out on business Albert is SIS solemn as a
Hindoo god He sits on the box of the presi-
dents carriage without moving muscle OF his
face for hours. and when the carriage is wait
ing anywhere he always shows the other
drivers around what true dignity is He has
driven seven presidents, and no one appreci-
ates the circumstance as well as he. In
twenty-five years OF driving and Of handling
all sorts OF teams no accident ever occurred
with him and not strap ever broke. he hiss
driven Lincoln, johnson, Hayes, Grant, Gar
field and Arthur to take the oath OF Office,
and has followed the bodies of Lincoln and
Garfield TO their tornbs.
Albert is particularly proud Of Mrs Cleve-
land. and feels a sort Of proprietorship in the
presidents wife He used to be quite fond Of
Mrs Fred Grant, and Nellie Arthur be still
thinks is 'the finest young lady in the world,
sab, the finest young Lady in the world But
Mrs Cleveland seems 70 occupy bis mind
more nowadays than the friends Of the past,
and Albert spends a good deal OF time when
OF duty extolling her beauty and graces.
Whenever she smiles at him, as she always
does when he takes her from or leaves her at
the White House, his own face spreads al
over his coat collar and stays that way for
